Fully half TN hour was thus occupied
and the Twenty-Hrst and last district
had hardly been completed when from
the center of the hall the well-known
voice Of Congressman Charles Grosvenor
was heard to claim the recognition Of the
chair Instantly all eyes were turned in
his direction. In slow and measured tones,
he commenced: ~ have resolution to
offer" Then he paused, and the pause was
fatal for the time being for the matter he
had in hand, for taking advantage OF 1t, ex-
Speaker Keifer was on his feet. ~ move
that all resolutions be read and referred to
the committee on resolutions without de-
bate" he shouted. The motion was Sec
Onded in dozen quarters, and on being put
to a vote was carried by a large majority,
although the "Noes" managed to make q
great deal of noise. BY this time General
| Grosvcnor's resolution had reached the
| platform. 1t read as follows
Recognizing, as the Republicans OF Ohio al
ways have, the gifted and tried statesmen OF the
Republican party of other States, loyal and un-
faltering in their devotion to the success of the
| organization in 1883. under whatever standard
| may select, they have just pride in the record
| and career OF John Sherman as member Of
the Republican party and rs n statesman OF fl.
deity. large experience and great ability. His
| career as a statesman began with the birth Of
the Republican party; he has grown and de-
veloped with the growth OF that organization; !;
his genius and patriotism are stamped upon
the records OF the party and the statutes and
constitution Of the country, and believing that
the nomination for the office OF president would
be wise and judciOus, we respectfully present
his name to the people Of the United States as
| o candidate, and announce our hearty and cor
dial support OF him for that office.
There was terrific applause when Sher-
| mans name was reached, and when the
porters climbed upon their chairs, threw
up their hats and yelled until their lung
power was exhausted.
1t was now the turn Of the Blame men,
and Colonel j. g. Munson, of GAINESVILLE,
| came to the front with this resolution:
That we hereby pledge the united and en-
thusiastic support OF the Republicans of Ohio to
Convention and, in this connection we call the
attention OF the Republicans of Ohio to the emf
ncnt services and splendid career OF the Hon.
John Sherman.
There was not much applause when the
| resolution had been read. and after an ad
dress from the Lincoln Club, of Pqua, fav-
oring the Endorsement of the Senator, the
convention adjourned until ten o'clock to-
morrow morning.
Second Days Proceedings.
TOLEDO, o., July 29.-The delegates to
the Republican Convention were slow in
gathering together yesterday morning.
Outside the mercury registered ninety five
degrees IN the shade, while inside the hall
an almost utter lack Of ventilation made
| the heat still more oppressive. Twice. as
many people were admitted to the floor Of
the hall as it was capable of accommodate
ing, and the delegates crowded around so
closely up to the platform that the repre-
| sentatives Of the press were literally
penned in. Senator Sherman was one of
the earliest arrivals and Us he took his
seat among the delegation from the Four
teenth district, he was heartily cheered.
When tho convention had been called to
order it was reported that there had been
| no contesting delegations, and the report Of
the Committee on Platform was at once
| read.
THE PLATFORM.
The Republican party in convention as
sembled submits to the people of Ohio the
following declaration of its principles:
1. We are favor of protective tariff, to
| secure to American citizens the privilege Of
| supplying every article which can be produced
as well in the United States in other
| countries and sufficiently to supply American
wants. Such tariff makes a demand for and
gives employment TO the labor OF American
citizens, and thereby aids in securing just COM
pensation for labor We denounce the Ohio
Democratic platform Of q tariff for revenue only,
and which demands an indiscrminate reduction
in all duties on imported articles the effect OF
which would be to encourage importations.
thus giving American patronage 10 foreign pro-
duCers and foreign labor rather than to our own.
.. While we adhere to the public policy under
which our country has received from Europe,
great bodies of honest industrious citizens,
who have added to the wealth, progress and
power of the country, and while we welcome to
| our shores the well-disposed and industrious
cmigrant who contributes by his energy and in
| telligence to the cause Of free government, we
| view with alarm unrestricted immigration from
| foreign lands as dangerous to the peace and
good order OF the country and the integrity and
character of its citizenship. We urge Congress
| to pass such laws and establish such regula-
| tiOns shall protect us from the inroud of the
| Anarchist, the Communist, the Polygumist. fugi-
| tive from justice, the insane, the dependent
| paupers, the vicious aud criminal classes, con-
| tract labor IN every form, under any name or
guise, and all others who seek our shores, not
| to become part OF our civilization and citizen
| ship who acknowledge no allegiance to our
| laws no sympathy with our aims and institu-
| tlOlS.
| upon society. to diminish the dignity and re-
| wards of American workingmen and degrade our
| labor to their level Against all these our gates
| should be closed But while favoring every
honorable and practicable measure to protect
| American labor against the evil effects Of for
eiSn immigration and competition, we recog
nZe also the dangers which menace 1t at home
| and condemn rs hostile to its cause and as sub
versive to its dignity and power the bold and
persistent usurpatiou in many OF the States OF
its political rights and privileges. The condition
of the men who labor in the North cannot be
maintained or improved so long as the men who
labor in the South are wrongfully deprived o
the rights and power of American citizenship
Their labor meets in close and immediate com
petition and neither can be degraded without
striking ut the prosperity and independence o
the other. Recognizing these plain truths we
demand u free ballot and fair count In all sec
tions OF our country We demand it, and viii
ever demand it us the only source OF justice tc
the real producers OF prosperity and wealth. anC
the sole security of the republic and its free in
stitutiOns.
We have placed the war; with its hates and re
venges, behind us; but the settlements OF the
war must stand irrevocable-respected honoreC
and observed in every part OF the republic
More we have never denanded less we will
not have. Congress should exercise its consti
tutional authority and take control and super
vision OF elections OF Representatives to Con
gress.
a. We demand such duties ON wool aud manu-
factures thereof us will secure the American
market to American producers. We denounc,
